Always, always wear a Sports Bra

Am taking part in Seven Cherubs Happy Days in May this month. I got married in May, so its always been a happy month for me, and its autumn, my favourite season. So its a nice fit to be dwelling on my happiness every day :)

So without further ado, today has three happinesses.

1. Miss 7 has been doing a project on school uniforms and how they've changed over time. This led to me hauling out the photos and finding this gem, of me aged 5 in my school uniform. So many happy delightful memories. I went to primary school in Sevenoaks, in Kent in the UK. My school was called Walthamstow Hall. And that was the uniform. Proper tie and all. Yes, thats a tube of smarties in my hand (it was the 70s, that's what you fed kids then).

3. Couch to 5Ks - So as per my blog post of the other day, I have undertaken C5k, ie running. Tonight was my first run. I learned something very important. Always, always wear a sports bra. Things became so dire that I was forced to run holding my own ample bust in place (otherwise they would have BOUNCED OFF - no kidding). THEN, towards the end I was so totally knackered that I forgot to let go during the walking part. Yep, basically I was walking around my neighbourhood panting and holding my own breasts. But I did it. I thought I was going to have a heart-attack, but I did it!!
